Rodney Dangerfield’s birth chart
Born 22 November 1921, in Babylon, New York. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sun in Scorpio or Sagittarius · Moon in Leo or Virgo
Rodney Dangerfield’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
22 November 1921 was a Tuesday: the day Rodney Dangerfield was born in Babylon, New York. The Sun moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at about 15:05 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Scorpio for a birth before then, Sagittarius after. The Moon left Leo for Virgo at about 07:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Rodney died on 5 October 2004, aged 82. StarMap has no verified birth time for Rodney, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in water signs, three in air and one in fire; none is in earth. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and one mutable. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The tightest aspect is Mars square Pluto, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was at its last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 25 other people born on 22 November, among them Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Terry Gilliam.

Rodney Dangerfield’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 15:05, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:05: Sun in Scorpio
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Rodney Dangerfield, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Born after about 15:05: Sun in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Rodney forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 07:15, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 07:15: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Rodney up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 07:15: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Rodney is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Babylon, New York, at each hour of the day.
Rodney Dangerfield’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Rodney yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 22 November 1921, computed for Babylon, New York.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 22 November 1921, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at about 15:05, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Rodney Dangerfield’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Rodney Dangerfield’s private life.
Sun in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 15:05, then Sagittarius
purpose and vitality
Born before about 15:05: Sun in Scorpio
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Rodney Dangerfield's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
Born after about 15:05: Sun in Sagittarius
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Rodney's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
Moon in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 07:15, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 07:15: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Rodney faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Rodney did.
Born after about 07:15: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Rodney's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Rodney's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Rodney tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Rodney is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
In Rodney's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Libra
11° Libra 42' at midday
growth and excess
In Rodney's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
For Rodney, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Pisces
5° Pisces 44' at midday
freedom, generational
Rodney has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
15° Leo 58' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Rodney alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
9° Cancer 43' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Rodney to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Rodney Dangerfield’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Mars square Pluto
about 0.1° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Rodney Dangerfield's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 0.7° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Rodney's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Venus trine Pluto
about 1.3° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Rodney's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Mars conjunction Jupiter
about 1.9° at midday
Mars conjunct Jupiter lends Rodney's drive a bold confidence, and they tend to act on a big goal before doubt has a chance to catch up. Momentum is the gift here; pacing is the skill, so that the energy lasts beyond the first burst of enthusiasm.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 2.0° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Rodney's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 2.1° at midday
Rodney's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Rodney can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.

Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
